The reality is that it will do little good to overspend in free agency the year before a lock out. To do so would be poor use of resources. Why pay a huge bonus to a guy who may be just sitting in 2011.
I know this isn't what any of the fans want to hear, but the reality is that the Chiefs are a business, and are well away from a Super Bowl. Why blow the money this year? If a player ends up sitting a year of a huge contract.... then, the signing bonus was totally wasted.
I wouldn't mind seeing the Chiefs sign some guys, but I own a business, and I understand the concept of a budget.
